Live Your Personal Legend

I am passionate about living my personal dream. I have wanted to be an attorney since I was 8 years old and though there were times when I veered off course, with much perseverance and determination, I eventually found my way back to my path. It took many 12 hour study days, a great deal of borrowed money, missed birthdays and other special events in the lives of my loved ones and a whole lot of pep talks. There were days that I thought it was over, days when I ran out of tuition money and days that I believed that I just wasn't smart enough (I frequently cried in the bathroom during the first few weeks of law school). Well all my doubts turned out to be untrue.  The day I was sworn in as an attorney I teared up while taking the oath, it was almost unbelievable that this day had finally arrived. I finally achieved my dream and now I get to live it.
Everyone has a dream or calling or personal legend*. Unfortunately, when we grow up we lose sight of our life's purpose and wind up working in some grey office with fluorescent lighting. Well, that's just not acceptable to me and if you're reading this blog, its probably not acceptable to you either.  That is why I created this blog, to give you the tools, motivation, encouragement and advice so that you will believe in yourself and be willing to take a chance and live your personal dream.
If you're dream involves becoming a small business owner, like it does for a lot of us, you are especially going to get a lot out of this blog.
So stay tuned and get ready to live your dream!
*Personal Legend: “It’s what you have always wanted to accomplish.  Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is.  At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible.  They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives.  But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it is impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend.”  The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho
